Hello! Another Northern Illinois member here in the 25-35 age bracket. I have some potentially useful knowledge in web development, programming, a good intuition for structural engineering (mostly through woodworking and some 3D printing), and am currently working on some electronics projects.
Technically I’m now a refugee from vlemmy . net (the server suddenly disappeared a few days ago, their donation accounts are suspended/deleted), but before that I was on Reddit where I explored a lot of smaller niche information sharing type communities. I was a mod of a few relatively small communities there under a different name, but have pretty much abandoned the platform since they attacked their power users/mods and started charging exorbitant rates for their API.
Generally, the way I engage:
I try to follow the paradox of tolerance. I try to be tolerant of others doing/saying anything which does not reduce overall tolerance of society, and when pushing back against intolerant ideology, I aim to politely discuss ideas from a place of logic and reason.
I tend to engage in discussion of ideas and am happy to discuss hypotheticals that I find interesting. I like to solve problems, and have been known to come up with some atypical (and I’d argue interesting), if often unworkable, solutions/approaches.
I don’t have time to devote to moderation/administration, but I’m happy to offer whatever advice I can within my knowledge areas to whoever may ask, such that it is.
